288 THE SEA FISHERIES 



VI 



Pollution of Tidal Waters 



There are two important reports by Bulstrode : — 

 On Oysters. (C. 8214, 1896.) 

 On Shellfish other than Oysters. (C. 5313, 1911.) 

 See also the Reports of the Royal Commission on Sewage disposal. 

 It is unnecessary to consult the complete report. The most important 

 sections are : 



Pollution of tidal waters, with special reference to contamination 



of shellfish. (C. 1883 and 1884) 1904. 

 Pollution of estuaries. (C. 4284.) 1908. 

 Final report. (C. 7281.) 1915. 



VII 

 Natural History of Fish 



Scientific investigations into problems having more or less bearing on 

 the Sea Fisheries are recorded in numerous publications. It would be 

 extremely difficult to give a list in moderately small compass. 



Reference should, however, be made to volumes dealing with the life 

 histories of edible marine fish, as otherwise it is impossible properly to 

 understand the subject. The most important of these are : — 



Cunningham, J. T. The Natural History of the Marketable Marine 

 Fishes of the British Islands. London, 1896. 



Cunningham, J. T. A Treatise on the Common Sole. Plsmiouth, 1890. 



McIntosh, W. C, and Masterman, A. T. The Life-histories of the 

 British Marine Food Fishes. London, 1897. 



The following volume in the Cambridge Biological Series contains " a 

 short account of quantitative marine biological research." 



J. Johnstone. Conditions of Life in the Sea. Cambridge, 1908. 



It should be consulted for a bibliography of plankton.
